Today we headed to the “big city” of New Philadelphia, the county seat of Tuscarawas County. At a population of about seventeen thousand it’s big enough to provide an array of goods and services. We enjoyed a down home lunch at Michael’s Restaurant before heading to Valvoline for an oil change. Would you believe it, getting the oil changed was actually fun! We didn’t have to leave the car and while the technician was working we were exchanging travel tips with the service writer. Excellent service. We’ve been there before and will return again! Found some useful items at Staples and at Lowes then decided it was time to head to Dover Road Dari for ice cream and iced tea.
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
